This is nothing we don’t already know, but this article sheds more light on what an incompetent menace Meruelo Jr. was. Alex Sr was allegedly quoted as saying this was “his team” and he bought the team “for his son.”
We were supposed to get some semblance of stability with Meruelo and instead got a Dan Snyder.
Hockey belongs in Arizona. Meruelo and his idiot son do not.

I had season tickets for over a decade. 4 seats. If Arizona deserved a team it would be because the fans supported it. They didn’t. It’s gone. They had 30 years to build an arena in the right part of town or one downtown for both basketball & hockey. If never happened. Arizona doesn’t deserve a team because they never supported the one they had. Sad but true . I have come to accept that. Time to move on
lmao at this point I can’t even get angrier.
Every one of you people who thought he could bring a team back in 5 years needs to eat crow. He sold us out because his talentless, moron, nepobaby, failson, was incapable of running a team and dad wanted to profit from his investment before the league started to come after him. Why? because they were absolutely incapable of doing what they said they could do. Selling the team for 3x profit over losing it in court? who wouldn’t take that deal.
I will absolutely bet my life that Sr. sold the team because the NHL threatened to come after him legally because the arena was all smoke and mirrors after Tempe failed. A businessman will always take a profit when his back is against the wall at the expense of everyone and everything. And why did Tempe fail? because moron nepobaby was probably in charge of the campaign from the start.
Look back. Look back at all the failures. Holy fucking shit.
I am legitimately embarrassed that so many of our fans were duped by Alex Meruelo. Myself included.
Nash was right, when Doan left we should have known we were in serious trouble.
